Somehow, reading essays on Harry Potter makes me love the books more. I don't know why. Maybe because it warms my soul that there are people out there who nitpick JKR's books for her. (I mean, admit it: JKR is no Tolkien. The man has a day-by-day timeline in his appendices, for cripe's sake. Not to mention the timelines that detail the years the LotR series barely touched upon. Gyah.)

So, if anyone has the time to read lengthy essays, then read the following:

A Consummate Liar, by

junediamanti:
An analysis of Severus Snape’s ‘performance’ in Chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince – Spinner’s End. (this essay is split in two parts and is 11696 words long. XD)

Prefects of Hogwarts School by

ladyguinevere83:
Explains the significance of Prefects at boarding schools as well as looking at the Prefect system at Hogwarts in general.
